Simple, quick dinners are one of my favorite things ever! I’m all about finding ways to get a satisfying meal on the table without needing to spend hours in the kitchen, especially with school starting again and trying to get back into a more scheduled routine.

Because as much as I love being in the kitchen, I’d much rather spend that time hanging out with my family when they’re around, you know?

I was trying to figure out what to make for dinner recently and remembered this Creamy Sausage and Potatoes dish that my mom used to make when I was a girl. I was a super picky eater (yup, unfortunately, it’s true!), but this was one dish I was always happy to see sitting on the table when we gathered for dinner.

Little did I know that one of the reasons my mom made it so often was because it’s easy to make and inexpensive too!

The thing that takes this dish from “just okay” to “wow” is good quality, seasoned ground sausage. Because the rest of the dish is pretty basic, the sausage really makes all the difference. Its flavor will permeate each bite, so it’s worth choosing a good brand for this sausage and potatoes recipe.

When I make it, I love using Shady Brook Farm’s Mild Italian Turkey Sausage- it tastes just like what I remember my mom making! And the great thing about turkey is that it’s a lean, healthier substitute for traditional pork sausage.

I also love that Shady Brook Farms works with more than 700 independent farmers who raise their turkeys without growth-promoting antibiotics! I don’t know about you, but I’m all for avoiding hormones in my food as much as possible!

I kind of knew my family would like this Creamy Sausage and Potatoes, but it still made my day when I was met with these comments: “Mom, this is really good!” (from our pickiest eater) and “You need to make this again!” and “Wow, this is very tasty, Babe!” Our 18 mo. old gave her own approval by eating thirds.

And me? Well, I thoroughly enjoyed every bite. But what made it even better was the fact that it took me just a tad over 30 minutes, start to finish, to get this dinner on the table. Now that, my friends, is a true winner!
